input in the named 
.I files
and formats it as HTML for viewing in a web browser.

argument is given,

reads the standard input.

is taken to be
a file name corresponding to the standard input.
The options are:
.TP
.B -i

By default, 
.I htmlroff

and so on).
.I Htmlroff
invokes

for the conversion.

.PP
Most 
.I troff
input files, especially those using the

macros, can be used unaltered.

.B tmac.html
should be processed after processing other standard macro files,
as in 
.B htmlroff
.B -ms
.BR -mhtml .
